Keypad code changes

Hello,
We have a mix of badge readers and keypads that secure our medication storage areas. For those of you that still use keypads, what is your process for updating the codes?

More specifically:
-How often do you change the codes?
-Is the code itself the same across the organization or customized per area?
-WHO changes the codes?

Thank you!
